 発光素子の封止材として特許文献1に記載の熱硬化性エポキシ樹脂を用いると、耐熱性が不十分であるため、長期間の使用に耐えないという問題がある。特許文献2に記載の熱硬化性シリコーン樹脂を用いると、接着性や柔軟性が不十分であるため、利便性に欠けるという問題がある。また、熱硬化性樹脂自体、硬化に要する時間が長く、生産性が悪いという問題がある。
 一方、特許文献3に記載の紫外線硬化性ウレタン樹脂を発光素子の封止材として使用すると、硬化に要する時間が短く、生産性が高まるが、耐熱性が十分とは言えず、熱による変色が起こり、輝度に影響する等の問題が生じることがある。
 発光素子の封止材としては、耐熱性に加え、光透過性も求められ、これらを両立する新たな材料の開発が求められている。
 よって、本発明の課題は、硬化に要する時間が短くて生産性を高めることができ、耐熱性及び光透過性に優れる発光素子封止材を提供し得る光硬化性樹脂組成物、及び該光硬化性樹脂組成物を用いた発光素子封止材を提供することである。
When the thermosetting epoxy resin described in Patent Document 1 is used as a sealing material for a light-emitting element, there is a problem that the heat resistance is insufficient and it cannot withstand long-term use. When the thermosetting silicone resin described in Patent Document 2 is used, there is a problem that the adhesiveness and flexibility are insufficient, and thus convenience is lacking. Further, the thermosetting resin itself has a problem that the time required for curing is long and the productivity is poor.
On the other hand, when the ultraviolet curable urethane resin described in Patent Document 3 is used as a sealing material for a light-emitting element, the time required for curing is short and the productivity is increased, but the heat resistance is not sufficient, and discoloration due to heat is caused. This may cause problems such as affecting the luminance.
As a sealing material for a light emitting element, in addition to heat resistance, light transmittance is also required, and development of a new material that satisfies both of these requirements is required.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a light-curable resin composition that can provide a light-emitting element sealing material that can improve productivity by shortening the time required for curing, and has excellent heat resistance and light transmittance, and the light. It is providing the light emitting element sealing material using a curable resin composition.
 本発明者等は上記課題を解決すべく、鋭意検討した結果、末端変性水添スチレンブタジエンゴム及び特定の光重合開始剤を特定比率で含有する光硬化性樹脂組成物であれば、硬化に要する時間が短くて生産性を高めることができ、耐熱性及び光透過性が共に優れる発光素子封止材を提供できることを見出した。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention require curing for a photocurable resin composition containing a terminal-modified hydrogenated styrene butadiene rubber and a specific photopolymerization initiator in a specific ratio. It has been found that a light-emitting element sealing material can be provided that can improve productivity with a short time, and that is excellent in both heat resistance and light transmittance.
